I didn't know Atkins published anything in 60s. Hmmm. I know where I was when I tried the diet and I was there in the late sixties. The Viet Nam War was on and I was living in base housing at Tyndall Air Force Base. It was about the same time as cyclamate was banned, which further complicated my efforts at keeping up the bikini shape. Funny how we place things in time. I think I may still have the book but I'm too lazy to walk upstairs to the library. (Which may give you a hint at why I have to watch my diet...<g>) I treated that diet as an opportunity to eat as much as I wanted after years of counting calories and I really gorged on that Stroganoff. If you gorge, you gain weight, body chemistry notwithstanding.
